Michael Saylor, the founder and executive chairman of MicroStrategy (Nasdaq: MSTR), is a well-known Bitcoin bull who has turned his firm into the world's largest corporate holder of Bitcoin.
Not only that, Saylor is a proponent of further institutional adoption of Bitcoin and encourages other companies to do the same. No market movement involving the king coin escapes him, and it was again evident pretty recently.
On May 19, Saylor shared on X the uptick on the 30-day price chart of Metaplanet (Tokyo: 3350.T) stock.
However, what caught the attention of discerning observers was Saylor's stock watch list.
Saylor has been closely watching a number of Bitcoin-holding public companies.
There is, of course, Metaplanet (OTC: MTPLF). Japan's largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, the firm holds 7,800 BTC. In March, it appointed President Donald Trump's son Eric to its board of advisors. The stock was trading at $7.03 at press time, up 158% over a month.
Metaplanet's Tokyo-listed stock (TSE: 3350.T) closed at JPY 783 on May 20, up 120% over a month.
Cantor Equity Partners (Nasdaq: CEP) is another Bitcoin-focused stock on Saylor's watch. The firm last month joined forces with SoftBank Group, stablecoin issuer Tether, and the Bitfinex crypto exchange to launch Twenty One, a public Bitcoin company. CEP closed at $47.58, up nearly 350% over a month.
Small players do not lag
The Blockchain Group (Euronext Growth Paris: ALTBG.PA) was also on Saylor's watch. A French Bitcoin treasury company, it holds 620 BTC. Its stock closed at EUR 3.04 on May 20, up 450% over a month.
Another stock on Saylor's watch list was Matador Technologies (TSXV: MATA,V), a Canadian tech company holding 68.14 BTC. The stock was trading at CAD 0.77, up 133% over a month.
CoreWeave (Nasdaq: CRWV) is a cloud computing company that earlier operated as a crypto mining firm. Its stock was trading at $90.60 at press time, up 132% over a month.
Healthcare company Kindly MD (Nasdaq: KDLY), which recently announced a merger with Bitcoin-native Nakamoto Holdings, was trading at $15.29, up 767% over a month.
The MSTR stock itself was trading at $416.21 at press time, up only 31% over a month.
As per Kraken, Bitcoin was trading at $106,689 at the time of writing, up 26% over a month.
Looking at the price charts, it is obvious that Bitcoin-centric public companies have soared enormously, even beating the king coin and leading BTC holder as well.
